The Spanish Geothermal Association, GEOENERG\u00cdA, has shown its firm support for the recent recommendation of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) to the European Commission, which calls for a comprehensive strategy to promote geothermal energy in the European Union.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

This proposal, put forward at the EESC plenary session in October, highlights the importance of geothermal energy as a key renewable energy source for achieving climate neutrality<\/a><\/strong> and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n

The role of geothermal energy<\/h2>\n\n

The opinion, prepared by Zsolt K\u00fckedi and Thomas Kattnig, emphasises the ability of geothermal energy to supply continuous energy with low greenhouse gas emissions, a crucial factor in the context of REPowerEU<\/a><\/strong> , the EU’s plan to ensure energy autonomy. <\/p>\n\n

The EESC notes that the potential of this technology in decarbonising<\/a><\/strong> the European economy has not yet been fully exploited, and suggests that effective implementation requires a combination of financial incentives and coordinated planning between Member States.<\/p>\n\n

GEOENERG\u00cdA welcomes this initiative, highlighting the need for financial support at national and European level to reduce the risks of initial investment in geothermal power plants<\/a><\/strong> . The organisation also highlights that a strategy of this nature could generate benefits in sectors such as building air conditioning and the development of geothermal heat networks. <\/p>\n\n

EU sets target of 250 GW by 2040<\/h2>\n\n

The EESC resolution is also in line with the European Parliament’s recent position on geothermal energy, which underlines its role in energy efficiency and reducing the EU’s carbon footprint<\/a><\/strong> . In addition, the proposal sets a target of 250 GW of geothermal energy by 2040, which would include its use in diverse sectors, from agriculture to transport and manufacturing. <\/p>\n\n

GEOENERG\u00cdA, in its commitment to sustainable development, was one of the signatory organisations of an international petition addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, requesting a coherent strategy to harness the potential of geothermal energy<\/a><\/strong> in the region. <\/p>\n\n

Through this action, the Spanish Geothermal Association seeks to have the European Commission give a relevant role to geothermal energy<\/a><\/strong> in its energy transition agenda, providing the sector with a framework that promotes innovation and enables it to meet the ambitious sustainability objectives of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n
